Mother's Day Gift!!https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/SteampunkeryCo?ref=seller-platform-mcnav 6" Satsuma style egg, Pottery egg with wooden mahogany colored stand. SATSUMA written in red with square box around it are the markings on bottom of stand. Egg is attached to the stand.

Satsuma "style" egg, probably chinese made. Real antique Satsuma was created and made in the Meiji Period (1868-1912), Japan didn't start using english lettering until the 1940's. Antique Satsuma has hand painted makers marks in kanji script (usually with the Shimazu family crest at the top-cross in circle) . Antique Satsuma is known for a warm beige crackle finish and comparitively minimal decoration. Have taken these things into consideration when pricing.

This is a gorgeous display piece in excellent condition. Can feel the raised paint on the decorative egg. The scene is a group of Geisha Girls getting ready, other side has a wagon and flowers, perhaps indicating they are preparing for a wedding. A stunning piece with a unique scene. This particular egg is difficult to find. Excellent condition.
